Neri per caso

The Profile

Neri per Caso are an Italian a cappella group from Salerno, known for tight vocal harmonies and pop repertoire. They won the Sanremo Music Festival (Nuove Proposte) in 1995 with “Le ragazze”.

Publicly verifiable facts: Italian a cappella group from Salerno; active since 1991; winners of Sanremo 1995 (Nuove Proposte) with “Le ragazze”. From the review: early years focused on instrument-free arrangements, later incorporating real instruments; debut album “Le Ragazze” mixed originals with covers including Pino Daniele (“Je so Pazzo”, “Quando”), Jovanotti (“Non M’Annoio”), Edoardo Bennato (“Viva la Mamma”), and Zucchero (“Donne”, “Con le Mani”).

A nostalgic, positive look at Neri per Caso’s debut Le ragazze: an a cappella-driven, Sanremo-winning burst of freshness mixing originals and Italian pop covers. The review praises the charm and accessibility of the first album while noting a later loss of originality as instruments entered their sound.
